>The scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d are designed to be run as root. You'll >either need to run this script at root (which will be done automatically at a >reboot), or start postgres manually as you do below. Try this on for size... recently during a reboot (first in about 3 months for this particular server) our entire rc.d directory failed to start... after some hacking of the rc file to output some helpful debuggin, it was apparent that the 010.pgsql.sh script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d was timing out and causing any directives thereafter not to be processed. Running the script manually as root starts the postmaster but doesn't return you to the command prompt. ^C and checking the errlog shows Waiting for postmaster starting up..DEBUG: Data Base System is starting up at Sat Mar 9 17:05:45 2002 DEBUG: Data Base System was shut down at Sat Mar 9 17:05:39 2002 DEBUG: Data Base System is in production state at Sat Mar 9 17:05:45 2002 Fast Shutdown request at Sat Mar 9 17:05:48 2002 DEBUG: Data Base System shutting down at Sat Mar 9 17:05:48 2002 DEBUG: Data Base System shut down at Sat Mar 9 17:05:48 2002 Can force it to return to command prompt by adding a "&" and doublt cr web1# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start & [1] 4635 web1# [1] + Suspended (tty output) /usr/local/etc/rc.d/010.pgsql.sh start web1# and postgres stays up and frees the terminal. Output in errlog for this is...

Installed from port, left the port startup script as is. Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
